<p><b>IntelliCORE</b> is a web application designed exclusively for monitoring 
and controlling the <b>HVAC</b> (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) 
systems of the University of Colorado's 2007 Solar Decathlon Team's solar house, 
CORE.</p>

<p>The CORE house is heated and cooled using water stored in two tanks, 
while a highly sophisticated device called a heat pump regulates the water 
temperature.  IntelliCORE is able to remotely modify the temperature settings for the 
rooms and the tanks, either manually or automatically.  IntelliCORE also 
continually monitors the sensors located throughout the house, recording the 
data so it can be used in energy usage calculations and long-term trend graphs.
</p>

<p>The IntelliCORE system controls the CORE House through an external program 
WebCTRL system supplied by Automated Logic.</p>
